The classification of map-germs up to the natural right-left equivalence (also known as A-equivalence) is often complicated. Certainly it is more complicated than K-equivalence which is extremely easy to work with because the associated…

Let $G$ be a connected, simply connected, simple, complex, linear algebraic group. Let $P$ be an arbitrary parabolic subgroup of $G$. Let $X=G/P$ be the $G$-homogeneous projective space attached to this situation. Let $d\in H_2(X)$ be a…

For any rank-one Riemannian symmetric space S of non-compact type and any discrete, cofinite, non-cocompact, torsion-free group $\Gamma$ of orientation-preserving Riemannian isometries on S, we develop a cohomological interpretation for the…

A subgroup $H\leq G$ is said to be almost normal if every conjugate of $H$ is commensurable to $H$. If $H$ is almost normal, there is a well-defined quotient space $G/H$. We show that if a group $G$ has type $F_{n+1}$ and contains an almost…

The purpose of this paper is to understand generic behavior of constraint functions in optimization problems relying on singularity theory of smooth mappings. To this end, we will focus on the subgroup $\mathcal{K}[G]$ of the Mather's group…

We consider equivalence relations among smooth map germs with respect to geometry of G-structures on the target space germ. These equivalence relations are natural generalization of right-left equivalence (i.e., A-equivalence) in the sense…

Let $(X,0)$ be an ICIS of dimension 2 and let $f:(X,0)\to (\C^2,0)$ be a map germ with an isolated instability. We look at the invariants that appear when $X_s$ is a smoothing of $(X,0)$ and $f_s:X_s\to B_\epsilon$ is a stabilization of…

Testing the unimodular equivalence of two full-dimensional integral simplices can be reduced to testing unimodular permutation (UP) equivalence of two nonsingular matrices. We conduct a systematic study of UP-equivalence, which leads to the…

We prove under certain conditions that any stable unfolding of a quasi-homogeneous map-germ with finite singularity type is substantial. We then prove that if an equidimensional map-germ is finitely determined, of corank 1, and either it…

Matrix congruence can be used to mimic linear maps between homogeneous quadratic polynomials in $n$ variables. We introduce a generalization, called standard-form congruence, which mimics affine maps between non-homogeneous quadratic…

Consider real-analytic mapping-germs, (R^n,o)-> (R^m,o). They can be equivalent (by coordinate changes) complex-analytically, but not real-analytically. However, if the transformation of complex-equivalence is identity modulo higher order…

We consider a corank $1$, finitely determined, quasi-homogeneous map germ $f$ from $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ to $(\mathbb{C}^3,0)$. We describe the embedded topological type of a generic hyperplane section of $f(\mathbb{C}^2)$, denoted by…

Let $G$ a semisimple Lie group of non-compact type and let $\mathcal{X}_G$ be the Riemannian symmetric space associated to it. Suppose $\mathcal{X}_G$ has dimension $n$ and it has no factor isometric to either $\mathbb{H}^2$ or…

Let $\Gamma$ be a $T$-ideal of identities of an affine PI-algebra over an algebraically closed field $F$ of characteristic zero. Consider the family $\mathcal{M}_{\Gamma}$ of finite dimensional algebras $\Sigma$ with $Id(\Sigma) = \Gamma$.…

For a germ of a smooth map f and a subgroup G_V of any of the Mather groups G for which the source or target diffeomorphisms preserve some given volume form V in the source or in the target we study the G_V-moduli space of f that…

We define an equivalence relation called A-isotopy between finitely determined map-germs, which is a strengthened version of A-equivalence. We consider the number of A-isotopy classes of equidimensional Morin singularities, and some other…

A super-modular category is a unitary pre-modular category with M\"uger center equivalent to the symmetric unitary category of super-vector spaces. Super-modular categories are important alternatives to modular categories as any unitary…

In this paper, we discuss the associated family of harmonic maps $\mathcal{F}: M \rightarrow G/K$ from a Riemann surface $M$ into inner symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type which are either algebraic or totally symmetric. These…

It is shown that some topological equivalency classes of S-unimodal maps are equal to quasisymmetric conjugacy classes. This includes some infinitely renormalizable polynomials of unbounded type.
